Access for UK based readers

Just a quick update for users in the UK who may have problems viewing the scans on the blog.

All my scans are uploaded to image-hosting platform Imgur and linked from the blog. Unfortunately, as of the start of October 2025 Imgur has blocked people in the UK from accessing its content as a response to the UK government's Online Safety Bill. Users from the rest of the world probably won't notice any problems but if you are in the UK you will just see a graphic saying something along the lines of 'This content is not available in your region' instead of the usual thumbnails for the scans.

At this time, and until the situation changes, the only way around this problem for UK users seems to be using a VPN to change your location. Doing this will give you access to all the images again. Its not an ideal solution but it seems to be the only work around available to bypass the problem.
